Random Thoughts

I wasn't sure Blu-rays could get scratched. I imagine that the peanut butter thing would still work to fill in the gap. Couldn't make it worse.

I'm lucky enough to have a functioning video rental store in my town with a disc resurfacer. As far as I can tell, they don't use different machines for Blu's, so you should be fine with whatever remedy you go with.

He also strangely accused Threepio of slacking off by taking an oil bath when the Falcon isn't equipped for that.
Now, we don't KNOW that, do we? ;-)

It looks like the next arc might be more interesting. I'd rather find out more about how Obi-Wan thought Luke should continue than Jedi order than putting characters/ships in danger we know they'll pull out of.

I wonder if he knows what happened to the TMP files?

I used to chat on IRC with a Foundation employee many years ago. (I can't recall their "real" name now.) They did share personal photos of when the TMP Enterprise miniature was uncrated for the animators to study. The poor gal was not only dirty and dusty, there were bug droppings!

I blame the Klingons. ;)
Daren Dochterman says he has all of the TMPDE files, it's just a matter of finishing HD models and releasing. And permission. And money, of course.

Netflix has the old masters and they are really, really interlaced.  It looks fine on a TV but for some reason on my laptop they look atrocious.  As for DS9, it looks fine, but I can't wait for the remasters.

I think Amazon has the exclusive streaming rights to the TNG remasters.
Bkev is 100% correct. Amazon has TNG-R, TOS-R, and TOS original. Pretty nifty.

And you should be watching production order, not broadcast order.
Why?
Due to delays in SFX or the network shuffling episodes around, the first season is more disjointed than it should be. It's not as bad as Firefly, but it's helpful to not have episodes with a character, then be introduced to him.
